Mandibular Involvement Associated With Segmental Odontomaxillary Dysplasia: A Case Series.

Segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia (SOD) is an uncommon and likely underrecognized developmental condition. In rare cases, SOD can also result in anomalies of the ipsilateral mandibular alveolar process and teeth. This report presents two cases of SOD with mandibular involvement to highlight this potential variation in SOD presentation. These cases help shed new light on our understanding of the disease mechanism and pathoetiology, while also informing clinicians to be diligent in imaging the ipsilateral mandible for dental anomalies in their patients with SOD. Based on the involvement of both jaws, the name change to 'segmental ipsilateral odontognathic dysplasia' is justified to better reflect its pathophysiology.
